    I’d say 9/10 times when someone looks something up that we wouldn’t have gone out of our way to find out, that info is instantly lost anyway. I’m way more likely to remember something if I have to go hunt down the info, either at a library or something really obscure that takes work to find online

      That’s my superpower, I remember that shit. It’ll occasionally come up in conversation where suddenly I look like a genius about some obscure topic and everybody asks “how the fuck do you know that” and all I can say is “see… I looked it up once 4 years ago…”
